Chapter 14: The Strange Old Woman
After the festival, the owner of the flower shop gave Ye Xiaojing a three-day holiday, and because Ye Xiaoman had to go to the convenience store every day to work, Ye Xiaojing temporarily took over the work of taking care of the handscroll stall.
When Xu Dawei learned that the Ye family sisters had opened a food stall, he often came over to help after work.
Ye Xiaojing was very reluctant about this, "Ah Wei, you have work to do, don't affect you here, I can be busy by myself." ”
Xu Dawei handed a finished handscroll to the customer, and then said to her with a smile: "It's okay Xiaojing, anyway, I was originally making dim sum." Moreover, it is much better to help you than to reprimand the black-faced supervisor in the restaurant, and when you make the business of the hand-rolled stall bigger one day, I still want to resign and come to you, and you are not allowed to refuse me at that time! ”
"Okay, but you can't be as lazy as you are in the restaurant, or I'll fire you!" Ye Xiaojing also made a joke.
"How dare I!" Xu Dawei raised his hands in surrender, "I know that our Miss Ye Xiaojing is the most serious and selfless in her work!" ”
Ye Xiaojing deliberately straightened her face and said, "Ah Wei, are you talking about a judge?" ”
"Huh-" Xu Dawei blinked suspiciously, "It seems to be oh, Xiaojing, why don't you go to the judge's exam, I promise you will win!" ”
"Am I really as terrible as you say?" Ye Xiaojing lowered her head as if she was a little aggrieved.
Xu Dawei hurriedly waved his hand a little flustered, "No! I'm joking with you, Xiaojing, don't be sad! ”
"Haha, I'm kidding you too!" Hearing Xu Dawei say this, Ye Xiaojing suddenly raised her head and showed a mischievous smile.
Xu Dawei scratched his head helplessly, "Hey, I'm really losing to you!" But Xiaojing, you seem to be in a really good mood today. ”
Ye Xiaojing was about to answer, but found that there were customers coming to the stall, and she hurriedly greeted: "Hello mother-in-law!" Do you want to buy a hand roll? Our freshly made hand-rolls here have a special sauce, which tastes very good, do you want to have one, mother-in-law? ”
The old woman in front of the stall ignored Ye Xiaojing's greeting, and only looked at the ingredients on the stall with her eyes, but never said what she wanted to buy.
Looking at the old woman who had been standing in front of the stall for a long time, Xu Dawei couldn't help but ask: "Mother-in-law, do you want to buy it, if you don't buy it, don't always stand here and block the way, we still have to do business!" ”
"Ah Wei, don't say that!" Ye Xiaojing hurriedly whispered to stop.
When the old woman heard this, she glanced at Xu Dawei with a cold gaze and said, "Young people must know how to respect the elderly, and they don't have any politeness to do good business!" ”
"Ouch, then why would I say that if you weren't standing here, mother-in-law? Speaking of which, there is a cause before there is an effect; Then again, mother-in-law, do you want to buy a handscroll? ”
The old woman said, "I don't have any money with me. ”
Xu Dawei said: "Don't bring any money? Say it earlier! I don't have money and I want to eat, and we are not a welfare house here, and we don't have a small business on credit! ”
Ye Xiaojing whispered to Xu Dawei after hearing this: "Ah Wei, don't say it anymore!" I think my mother-in-law must be hungry, but she just didn't have any money. After speaking, Ye Xiaojing said to the old woman, "It doesn't matter if my mother-in-law doesn't bring money, I'll invite you to eat!" ”
Seeing that Ye Xiaojing was going to invite the old woman to eat white food, Xu Dawei frowned and stopped: "Xiaojing, I have seen a lot of this kind of person, and they are specially here to eat and drink, don't be fooled!" ”
"Humph!"
Hearing this, the old woman snorted coldly and said, "The heart of a villain! ”
Xu Dawei heard this and said angrily: "Okay, even if I am a villain, mother-in-law, you are not a gentleman, right?" I've never seen a gentleman who eats white food! ”
"Alright, Ah Wei!"
Ye Xiaojing moved a chair behind her and said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law comes here to sit, and the handscroll will be fine immediately!" ”
After the old woman sat down, she said, "Seafood hand-rolled, put more avocado." ”
Seeing that the old woman was so aggressive, Xu Dawei wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Ye Xiaojing with a look, "Ah Wei, you greet other guests, and I will make a handscroll for my mother-in-law." ”
It didn't take long for an avocado seafood handscroll full of various ingredients to be delivered to the old woman; Considering the old woman's age, Ye Xiaojing also deliberately replaced the harder sweet and sour radish with sweet and tender corn kernels.
"Mother-in-law, eat slowly, do you want to drink water?" Seeing that the old woman began to eat the handscroll, Ye Xiaojing poured her another cup of hot water.
Seeing this, Xu Dawei could only sigh helplessly and shake his head, "Xiaojing, you just have a good heart!" ”
After the old woman finished eating, she seemed to be satisfied with the taste, so she said to Ye Xiaojing: "Little girl, can you give me another one, I want to take it back to my grandson." ”
As soon as Xu Dawei heard this, he almost jumped up, "What, you have to take it away after eating?" Are you mistaken, this handscroll stall is not owned by your family! ”
Although Ye Xiaojing was a little surprised by the old woman's request, she still smiled and agreed: "Okay, no problem!" ”
She quickly made another one, put it in a bag and handed it to the old woman: "Avocado seafood hand-rolls with special sauce, mother-in-law, take them." ”
"Thank you, little girl!"
Until the old woman left for a long time, Xu Dawei was still muttering and complaining there.
Ye Xiaojing smiled: "Okay, Ah Wei, I think that mother-in-law must have some difficulties, anyway, the two handscrolls are not worth much, if you can help others a little because of this, it will be worth it." ”
Xu Dawei shouted: "Where will she have any difficulties, you don't look at her dress!" Xiaojing, let me tell you, just the white jade bracelet she wears on her hand is already very valuable; Not to mention that she also brought a whole set of earrings and necklaces, how could such a person have no money? Xiaojing, you are too simple, you often encounter such cheating and cheating in business, you have to be careful in the future! ”
Ye Xiaojing said: "Well, I'll be careful, but I really don't think that mother-in-law is like a liar!" ”
Who knew that the next day, when Ye Xiaojing was busy, the strange old woman appeared again.
"Little girl, it's still hand-scrolled like yesterday, I want two copies."
took the handscroll handed by Ye Xiaojing, but the old woman said, "Little girl, I didn't bring any money today, can I owe it first?" ”
Ye Xiaojing was slightly stunned, but still smiled: "It's okay, mother-in-law, go slowly!" ”
In this way, for three consecutive days, the old woman would take two free handscrolls from Ye Xiaojing every time.
After Ye Xiaoman learned about it, he reminded: "Although the two handscrolls are not worth much, if you do this, if you are seen by other guests, if they also follow the credit, it will be difficult for us to do business in the future." ”
Ye Xiaojing nodded, "I'll pay attention in the future, but that mother-in-law is really strange, she looks very rich, but she even has to pay for these dozens of yuan on credit." ”
Ye Xiaoman also said: "Yes, that's why I say that people are the most complicated. ”
Ye Xiaojing thought for a while and said, "I'm going back to work in the flower shop tomorrow, I don't know if that mother-in-law will come, sister, what are you going to do?" ”
Ye Xiaoman pondered for a while and said, "We are doing a small business, try not to offend the guests, I will look at it tomorrow." ”
